Fixed Deposit എന്താണ്?
A Fixed Deposit (FD) is one of the safest investment instruments offered by banks and NBFCs in India. You deposit a lump sum for a fixed tenure at a predetermined interest rate. The interest compounds at regular intervals — quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly — and you receive the maturity amount at the end of the tenure.
FDs are ideal for risk-averse investors looking for guaranteed returns. Most banks offer interest rates between 5% and 7.5% p.a. for regular citizens, with senior citizens receiving an additional 0.25%–0.50% premium.
FD vs RD — Which is Better?
Fixed Deposit (FD) requires a one-time lump sum investment, while a Recurring Deposit (RD) allows you to invest a fixed amount every month. Here are the key differences:
- Investment style: FD is lump sum; RD is monthly instalments.
- Interest rate: FD generally offers slightly higher rates than RD for the same tenure.
- Effective returns: Since the full principal earns interest from day one in FD, the total interest earned is typically higher than RD for the same total invested amount.
